After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: The Big Trouble Has Arrived
“Jonathan?”

Zhouzhou turned her head to look at Qin Lie, but seeing him shake his head, she knew he didn’t know either.

Liu Hanqiu spoke up, “Jonathan? I know him. He was expelled from the Medical Association a long time ago because the medicines he made had good short-term effects but severe side effects. It goes against the principles of treating illnesses and saving lives. Why would you dare to buy his medicine? Does the person who delivered the medicine have a grudge against you?”

“It shouldn’t be. The person who delivered the medicine was Grandpa Li, and he also took this medicine,” Mu Xuan explained.

Then it doesn’t seem likely.

But what exactly is going on behind this matter? We need to investigate thoroughly.

Zhouzhou couldn’t understand all this. She took out a porcelain bottle from her hand and handed it to Mu Xuan. “Here, Eldest Senior Brother, this is the Antidote Pill made from Master’s ginseng king. It’s very effective. Grandpa Mu will definitely recover quickly with this.”

Mu Xuan certainly knew that his master had a ginseng king. He was surprised and asked, “Why did Master generously give it to you?”

Zhouzhou explained the contents of the letter, and Mu Xuan burst into laughter. “This must be the idea of the abbot.”

Otherwise, his master, that stingy person, wouldn’t have been willing to give it away.

In order to surpass Yi Yun, he had really spent a lot this time.

“Just like a child,” Zhouzhou commented.

Indeed, that was the case.

After chatting for a while, they quickly went upstairs to see Grandpa Mu’s condition. His complexion had improved a lot compared to before, but he was still unconscious. Zhouzhou didn’t disturb him and just checked his pulse to confirm that he was getting better before leaving.

Seeing that Mu Xuan still had a heavy look on his face, Zhouzhou comforted him, “It’s alright, Eldest Senior Brother. As long as Grandpa Mu doesn’t take those medicines anymore and recuperates for a while, he’ll be fine.”

“Okay.” With her around, Mu Xuan wasn’t worried about that. He was just thinking about Jonathan. From what he knew, several of his grandfather’s old friends had also taken this medicine. It was too much of a coincidence. It was likely that someone deliberately delivered this medicine to them.

Thinking about it, Mu Xuan looked at Zhouzhou and asked, “Zhouzhou, can you make more of this medicine? There are quite a few people who need it now. As for the price, you can set it as you like.”

“Is it for Grandpa Li to take?”

“Not just him, but several others as well. They are all Grandpa’s friends or former colleagues.”

I see. Zhouzhou nodded. “Then I’ll make more, but I’ll charge less for Grandpa’s friends. Two yuan per dose is enough.”

“Silly girl.” Mu Xuan couldn’t help but tap her forehead gently. “With two yuan, you won’t even recover your costs.”

Zhouzhou blinked. “It’s okay, I didn’t spend any money. Master gave me the ginseng, and the medicine was given by the abbot and Hanqiu. I didn’t spend a penny, so I earned two yuan for nothing.”

She said proudly, shaking her little head.

Mu Xuan found it amusing. He knew she had no concept of money, so he said, “Then let me set the price. I’ll give you the money later.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Eldest Senior Brother, you can keep it and spend it. Consider it a gift for Eldest Senior Brother from me.” Zhouzhou said generously, “A gift for Eldest Senior Brother’s filial piety.”

Mu Xuan was touched by her soft words. He patted her head and didn’t dwell on this matter.

If others wanted it, the ginseng king wouldn’t be enough. They would have to use regular ginseng, but unfortunately, there weren’t many ginsengs left in Liu Hanqiu’s shop. The five-hundred-year-old one had just been bought.

“Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to buy the medicine.” Mu Xuan thought for a moment and said. The quality of the medicinal ingredients directly affected the quality of the medicine, so they had to personally inspect it to feel at ease.

“Okay.” Zhouzhou held his hand, and Qin Lie acted as the driver, taking them to the city.

The two sat in the back seat, happily chatting. Suddenly, Zhouzhou stopped talking, turned her head abruptly, and looked in a certain direction. Her ears twitched, and she said, “Dad, let’s go there.”

Following the direction she pointed, there was an alley.

Qin Lie raised an eyebrow in surprise, not knowing what she intended to do, but still parked the car aside and walked over with her.

Zhouzhou made a hand gesture to them, walked lightly with a crouched posture, and silently entered the alley.

The alley was pitch black, and her sneaky appearance looked somewhat comical.

Qin Lie and Mu Xuan found her behavior funny at first, but soon they couldn’t laugh anymore.

As they went deeper into the alley, the voices inside became clearer.

They heard a person speaking in a low voice, “Now, the Zheng family, the Mu family, and several other old men from the Li family have all taken this medicine. I’m afraid they won’t live much longer. When the time comes, we’ll push this matter onto other families and let them fight each other. We’ll reap the benefits.”

“That’s right,” another person agreed. Their Chinese was extremely awkward, with a strange accent that didn’t sound like a native Chinese speaker. “Dong, you’ve done well. Rest assured, I won’t treat you unfairly.”

“Thank you, Mr. Jonathan!”

As they whispered about their plan, Mu Xuan’s anger gradually rose. His grandfather’s illness had indeed been caused by someone!

Beside him, Zhouzhou’s little fist clenched slowly.

That Jonathan, wasn’t he the scoundrel who made fake medicine to harm people?

Well, she was still thinking about how to find them, but she didn’t expect them to come to her door themselves.

Zhouzhou clenched her fist tightly. In the next moment, she couldn’t hold back any longer. Her small body swiftly dashed out, and before the two men could react, she jumped up and kicked one of them against the wall.

Almost at the same time, Mu Xuan also moved, kicking the other person and saying, “Zhouzhou, keep going.”

“Alright.” Zhouzhou replied, lightly shouted, and kicked the other person into the wall just like catching a sandbag.

“Who?!” Jonathan and Dong Hui exclaimed. They instinctively tried to move their limbs, but they were completely stuck in the wall and couldn’t budge.

Looking at the little girl in front of them, both of them showed fear on their faces.

Zhouzhou still felt unsatisfied and was about to pry them off the wall to deliver another kick, but Mu Xuan suddenly held her back and glanced towards the side. Someone was there!

In the next second, someone flipped over the wall from the other side. They mistook Zhouzhou and Mu Xuan as part of the same group. Zhouzhou jumped up, her short legs kicking towards one of them, but the person blocked her attack.

As she was about to make another move, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, “Zhouzhou?”

This voice…

Zhouzhou’s body froze for a moment. She performed a backflip and landed steadily on the ground, curiously turning her head to look.

Chen Tuo also took off his mask, pleasantly surprised, “It’s really you.”

It was him.

Zhouzhou looked at Chen Tuo with confusion and then turned her head to the person who had blocked her attack earlier. That person also removed their mask, revealing a handsome and somewhat sinister face.

It was Ye Lingfeng.

Seeing that they knew each other, Mu Xuan stopped as well. He looked at the aura emanating from them and furrowed his brows.

These two individuals were not simple.

Ye Lingfeng looked at Zhouzhou, raising an eyebrow and asking, “What are you doing here?”

Zhouzhou pointed her finger, “It’s those two scoundrels who harmed Grandpa Mu!”

He knew about this. They were investigating it, but they didn’t expect to encounter her first when they just arrived.

Chen Tuo walked forward, first prying Jonathan out from the wall. He looked at the two large holes in the wall and twitched his mouth.

The little girl was indeed formidable in a fight, but she had a tendency to damage walls. He didn’t know where she developed this habit of kicking people into walls.

As soon as he landed, Jonathan wanted to run, but Chen Tuo kicked him in the back of his knee, causing him to instantly fall to the ground, howling in pain.

“Behave yourself.” Chen Tuo warned, then took out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket and cuffed his hands.

Unlike the usual manganese steel material, these handcuffs were golden and engraved with patterns. It was dark here, making it difficult to see clearly, but it looked like a dragon.

Qin Lie glanced at them and instantly noticed Ye Lingfeng’s gaze. Ye Lingfeng took a step forward, seemingly casually engaging in a conversation with Zhouzhou, conveniently blocking Qin Lie’s line of sight.

Qin Lie didn’t pay much attention and calmly looked away.

But Zhouzhou, with her sharp eyes, saw it. Her small body agilely sneaked over and touched the handcuffs on Jonathan’s hands. She exclaimed, “Wow, it looks so nice. I want one too.”

This golden handcuff looked so luxurious!

Upon hearing this, Chen Tuo burst into laughter, “Zhouzhou, if you ever get this, you won’t be able to keep your little head anymore.”

What does he mean?

Zhouzhou touched her round head in confusion, about to ask further.

Ye Lingfeng coughed lightly, warningly glanced at Chen Tuo, then looked at Zhouzhou and suddenly changed the topic, “Zhouzhou, I heard that you cured Grandpa Mu yesterday. I have a lucrative business opportunity here. Are you interested?”
